Padres

OK, calm down non-believers...this is my early Cactus League look at our beloved Padres of San Diego...as we have promise...sure, it's just the spring leagues...BUT...we could be bad, now...and we are not...the guys who have to show they belong...
C Nick Hundley...who I think has the biggest target on his back...has been strong...new batting stance...and will have the spot until Grandal gets back after 50 games...
1B, OF Kyle Blanks...big guy...has spent most of his time here on the injury list...and is striking the ball big time...we've been here before, as the curve was his downfall...so far, so good...
2B Jed Gyorko...pronounced Jerk-O...really...started with a bang, 3 dingers in 5 games...when I have seen him play, I am not blown away...his glove is smooth...the jury out...
Pitchers...well...the guys are OK...nobody standing out...that's the mantra...the new kid, Ross, throws it 96...have to give him a long gander...still waiting on Cashner...
You do know that we play the hated Dodgers 19 times...what?...5 series?...and yesterday, our nemesis, Kershaw, got ripped by the boyz...it was way fun...
Grade...B+

Oh, it was great TV to watch the Lake Show get bombed by the Thunder (Supersonics)...and, of course, it was a national broadcast...let's follow the 9th placed team...let's grade the NBA pretenders...'er contenders...
Miami Heat...LeBron in a league of his own...despite no inside presence...A-
New York Knicks...Melo is a strength and a weakness...and their PG is turrible...C
Indiana Pacers...the last possible chance in the East...quick, name one of their guys...C+
San Antonio Spurs...the ultimate team team...yup...but their PG is out...A-
OKC Thunder...the best scoring duo in the league...will win the west...A-
LA Clippers...exciting group...very average in the 1/2 court...B
Denver Nuggets...the funnest of all...run at every chance...B+...
There you go...these are the only ones that have a chance at the title...take that Chuck, this is better than anything you got...

Quick hits...
Taylor Swift just may not be as sweet as most think she is...
The stock market at an all time high...why?...
The 27 times stabber meets the jury today...
The Ducks rose in the AP Poll...why?...
Still snowing?...man, the east has been hit late...
Is Adrienne telling the truth?...
The entire US Air Force at SDSU tonight...they'll need them all...
Time for new blood in the ref world...
Is there a day that Kris doesn't have a K in print somewhere?...
Taped Idol, and have not seen the gals yet...

Have a tourney out at Sycuan at noon...hate the late start...finish in the near dark...and it gets coldish...but, it's a member T...I need to be there...they have a dinner after...which I always skip...booze + drive= no bueno...wish me luck...

He is alive and kicking...

Top of the morning, friends...as we embark on a shortish Cosmo trip (6+ hours) up north to see the kids. ..we try to see them every month or two....whatever works for us, and them...school has just started for them...and Cy has both football and soccer, he is playing...Cas, at 3, is still a wannabe... The distancing of trump with the public, was a bit weird, right?. ..he emerged and was talking the same...his appearance was a bit shaggy...he must have had the flu, or, well, Covid, or something...but, he is NOT DEAD....and still up to his shenanigans...same old...anything to bring up, to divert the people from hearing about the Epstein Files ...he unabashedly, called the whole thing a 'Democratic Hoax'... Hmmm...as 6 of the Survivors of it...(the Epstein Case) ...were talking, not only to the House....but, to the public, yesterday...as MTG was front and center with it...which, too, was odd...a fallout from trump?...or, a plant within the group?...no, trump, it is not a hoax.....

The Ignominy

So much for diplomacy ... the absolute embarrassment by the current President of the US...his actions in 'hosting' the Ukranian President Zelensky ... as it turned out, a highly visual representation of bullying by trump...the manners and methodology that he uses on people...aligned with his arse kissers, waiting their turn to take potshots at Zelenksy...all well orchestrated ...it was the ULTIMATE IGNOMINY of our country's 'leader'...unfortunately, for us, too...as somehow we are connected to that ogre...in reality, we are not... hoping the rest of the World can see that...here are samples of the headlines throughout that depict the sentiment of the slaughter... We are NOT aligned with Putin...WE ARE NOT!...trump is ...which begs a different query...how much longer can this idiocy go on?... I keep asking this...what does Putin have on trump, anyway...it must be a formidable foible... Talk to me, kids... This ploy of the orange...to actually simulate a firing squa...

A Trial, Indeed

The revenge tour is ramping up ...as we gawk at the unchecked moves by trump ...even SCOTUS , the last leg of justice, is wobbling beneath his demands... this country is in disarray ...I wish I could give you better news... The unsightly attack of one of his Icetapo behemoths, on a lady in New York...taking her to the ground...an example of the uncontrolled behavior of that organization...guess that is what you call the group... simply, out of control, with NO LIMITS of force ...sad...and disgusting... The indictment of his former FBI head, James Comey ...for lying (imagine that from a legendary liar, trump) to Congress...this court case is needed for the country...to show the fallacy of the regime that is running rampant all over the land...it needs to be a BIG STAGE! ... A trial, indeed... In data released by trump's own government...the largest groups of detainees...the Icetapo's achievement of rounding up people...are not the ones with ANY CRIMINAL RECORD , but, 'illeg...
